R&D
Is it just me, or does it seem like the week just melted away? I feel like I’ve done nothing, but I know that’s not the case. Most of this week was spent researching and problem solving.
In regard to the design issues I had yesterday, I still haven’t solved the full justification problem. Thanks to a text cleaning software, I was able to get rid of those extra spaces and use another version of the justification. The type looks better.
Moving right along, I found six more leads for publishers for the anthology. Most of them are iffy (meaning that the anthology may squeeze through), but it’s better than nothing.
That’s all for now.

Isn’t it amazing how technical issues with software can just eat your time away? There was a time when I was going to complie all of my short stories into an ebook and try to sell it. I was spending so much time learning all of these different kinds of software that I was really getting nothing done with writing. I finally abandoned learning all of that stuff (acrobat, indesign, illustrator, Go LIve) and went back to just writing.

Yes, it is. And, it’s often one stupid little quirk that can cause all the problems. I haven’t tackled Go Live, but at least I have a working knowledge of InDesign and Acrobat. I’d like to master these two and then tackle Illustrator.
I read the less than favorable reviews of GoLive on Amazon and have decided to pass on this. There are plenty of other software packages on the market (and in Open Source) that are a lot easier to use.

Thank you!
I’m seeing more and more creative themes as WordPress is maturing.
